Hi Sven!

I'm finally using the new STON with comments and I found one little
problem: my ston file has urls :/

{
// comment ok, skipped
/* comment ok, skipped */
  "aURL": "http://ouch.it.will.be.skipped/and/break?my=ston";
}

That is, doing:

STON fromStreamWithComments: '{
// comment ok, skipped
/* comment ok, skipped */
  "aURL": "http://ouch.it.will.be.skipped/and/break?my=ston";
}' readStream

Will fail with an invalid input error because after skipping comments my
STON stream remains like

STON fromStreamWithComments: '{
  "aURL": "http:
}

Any thoughts?
Guille
